What if everything you believe about separation, fear, and not being enough is only one version of reality? Or just one lens through which you’ve been taught to see? What if there was another – a lens of unity?

And what if shifting that lens doesn’t require effort, but remembering?

In a recent conversation for Her New Lens, I sat with transcendental coach, unity consciousness guide, and near-death experiencer Lelanea Fulton, who has lived what most of us only read about: mystical states of oneness, telepathic perception, and the dissolving of the egoic identity we cling to. Her life bridges transpersonal psychology, trauma healing, quantum science, and embodied spirituality.

What struck me most wasn’t just the mystical experiences themselves. It was the way she spoke of them: calmly and with otherworldly wisdom.

Below is what unfolded when we explored unity consciousness, ego death, worthiness, and healing through the inner lens.

I’m excited to share our discussion with you! Have a look:

A Childhood Brush with Death That Opened a Door

At six years old, Lelanea nearly drowned.

As her body fought for air, something ancient and interior took over. Time slowed. The water turned golden with light. She rose out of her body and watched herself from above. She felt her mother’s panic as if it were happening inside her own body. And as she surrendered, she dropped into a field of pure love and oneness—something she later came to understand as unity consciousness.

As she told me her story, I was struck, once again, by her calm recollection.

So even as a child, she understood death not as an ending, but as a transition. And separation as an illusion.

The Gift and Burden of Hyper-Attunement

Growing up in a violent home with a sociopathic father gave her a skill she never asked for: the ability to feel other people’s nervous systems.

Not metaphorically. Literally.

She calls it clairsentience, but she explains it through trauma and neurobiology: children who grow up around danger become hyper-attuned to micro-shifts in the environment. It’s a means of survival.

Later in life, this attunement evolved into episodes of telepathy. This was something that frightened others but made perfect sense to her. She had been merging with people energetically her entire life.

This part reminded me of a blog post I wrote about the power of interconnectedness. It was about sending love vibrations and how it is so real. You can read more about this here.

The Course in Miracles also says that “all minds are joined.” It’s hard to fully grasp the magnitude of this. But there is power in understanding it.

When Her Whole Life Collapsed—So the True Self Could Emerge

In her early forties, everything she identified with disappeared at once: her career, her marriage, her closest relationships. What Carl Jung called the midlife “second birth” arrived like an avalanche.

She describes this period as the liminal space:

“You’re no longer who you were… but not yet who you are becoming.”

She said Western psychology often labels this state as depression. She saw it as grief. A shedding and dissolving of the false self.

Instead of resisting it, she let it take her.

She moved to the Pacific Northwest. Meditated three hours a day and lived in ancient forests. She let the old ego die.

And in the absence of identity, something else awakened.

The Third Mystical Experience: Remembering Herself as Source

Years after her childhood near-death experience, and after another moment of oneness in her twenties, Lelanea had a third experience—this time in Vancouver.

Everything illuminated: trees, grass, strangers in a park. Human beings appeared like lanterns lit from within. Time dissolved. Space dissolved. She merged with people around her, not in a metaphorical way, but in consciousness.

A telepathic communication arrived:

“You are consciousness. You are a fragment of Source.
You created this experience.
Everyone you see is you.”

In that moment, she remembered. She described it as having tears falling and being completely enraptured in what she was seeing.

She uses a powerful analogy:
It’s like someone with Alzheimer’s momentarily regaining memory. Everything that had been familiar but detached suddenly floods with meaning, emotion, and connection.

That clarity, ‘I am Source having a human experience, ‘ became the foundation of her life and work.

So What Does a Lens of Unity Consciousness Mean for Us?

If separation is the illusion, and oneness is the truth, then the question becomes:

How do we live from that truth while still being human?

Here’s the bridge Lelanea offers:

• Your body is your avatar.

• Your childhood conditioning is your programming.

• Your thoughts and beliefs are the filters through which you receive and transmit consciousness.

• You are always connected to everyone and everything because you are everyone and everything, expressed through a different avatar.

This understanding doesn’t bypass trauma.
It reframes it.
It brings compassion to it.
It gives us agency to heal it.

Which brings us to one of the most common wounds I see in my coaching work: worthiness.

The Worthiness Wound: A Unity Consciousness Perspective

I work with many women who feel lonely, undeserving of real love, or afraid to pursue what they truly want.

When I asked Lelanea what she’d say to a woman who doesn’t feel worthy, she didn’t sugarcoat it:

**“It is your responsibility to heal your own wound.

Projecting unworthiness onto a relationship is a form of self-abandonment, and it harms and abuses the connection.”**

She didn’t say this with judgment. It was noted with fierce compassion.

I felt her point was clear:

If you enter a relationship believing you are “not enough,” you will:

• misinterpret your partner’s actions (Yep!)

• attract partners who reinforce the wound (X100000)

• unconsciously sabotage connection (Have you been there?)

• outsource your sense of value (Yes again)

And no partner, no matter how loving, can fill a void created by your programming.

Healing worthiness is not a punishment. It’s coming home to yourself and to the truth of who you are.

It’s you returning to yourself before you ever return to someone else.

Healing Begins When You Turn Inward

Unity consciousness teaches that the self you’re seeking is already whole. What a relief!

However, your nervous system, childhood programming, and beliefs learned from culture, religion, and family may be blocking that truth.

The work is to:

• Identify the original wound

• interrupt the old identity loop

• build new neural pathways

• treat yourself like someone you deeply value

• choose partners from wholeness, not lack

When you do this, the quality of people you attract changes.

Your standards and energy change.
Your relationships finally reflect who you’ve become – not who you were.

As Lelanea said:

“When you heal, you become available for a completely different kind of love. One that mirrors your connection to Source itself.”

My Thoughts on the Lens of Unity Consciousness

For readers new to this kind of conversation, this may be a lot of information to grasp.

And I understand that, because even for me, there are times when I can’t fully wrap my head around what she’s saying. However, I’m always amazed at how many different people express the same thing in their own unique way.

I recall Eckhart Tolle describing us as being the hole inside the flute through which our greater source energy moves and becomes. This is precisely what Lelanea is saying in her own unique way, through her own unique experience.

I always like to leave readers with discrete takeaways to carry forward.

In this case, two things stand out particularly.

The first one is how wonderful it must feel to carry the knowing throughout that life that it is so much more beautiful than we can even begin to imagine. 

Knowing this beauty and joy is a gift beyond explanation.

The second one comes from the last part of our conversation, when I asked her about her take on worthiness. And what she said about the importance of each one of us, owning the fact that we are transmitters that we absorb source energy in the way we do, and we transmit in the unique way that we do. And we have the power to change the way we receive and transmit source energy.

It is our unique signature, and this gives us freedom and power. So, no matter what we’re feeling, we know that it’s possible to change and experience something else, something higher and more aligned with our truth.
